Description and pictures on VRBO were accurate, house was very spacious and comfortable with several air conditioners available to use. The location was in a quiet neighborhood 0.2 miles to Potter Wood walking trail and less than 1 mile from URI. We chose this location as it was dog friendly and we were unable to get lodging on Block Island where we have vacationed last 28 years, so we decided to explore a new area.
This location was perfect as it was centrally located to many beaches, less than 20" to Block Island ferry and 30" to Newport, RI where there is lots of shopping and tours of the historical mansions which we visited.
Narragansett town beach was nice but we learned when we arrived, after spending quite a bit of time to find parking on the road, (the large parking lot we learned was only for residents/permit holders and the other small public lot was full) that it costs $12 per person to use the beach.
We decided to leave as the attendant shared that Scarborough (4 miles down the road) is the state beach which was perfect, very clean and spacious and $12 to park for the day during the week. $14 for weekend for out of state visitors nice smooth sand and great waves, bath house and concession.
If dining out, restaurant reservations were strongly recommended (likely due to COVID). We found many places were fully booked for the night on days we called, or if we were calling at 3PM we would have to wait until 8 or 8:30 for a reservation for our party (granted 1 night we were a party of 8 so that did not help)
We did go to Mews Tavern, a great atmosphere, excellent food and cool decor. Pasquale's Pizzeria was also awesome, celebrated our 15 year old's bday there with friends and all enjoyed it.
Our last day we did visit TLC coffee roasters which was a very cool place - wished we had visited it sooner. We especially loved the option to make your own iced coffee as we have never experienced a place like that before.
Lastly, Joan and spouse were great, very accommodating to our needs, prompt communication/responses. Would recommend this property to any family looking to explore RI.
